    I keep my laptop mostly on my desk with the battery plugged in. Does this slowly wear on the battery itself? Should I unplug the battery before using in on my desk?

    Yeah, I was also wondering about this.

    i try to reduce wear, by fulling using the battery up at least once a week.

    Should I unplug it when I use the laptop for extended periods of time plugged in??
    Daily usage, gaming etc???
